*If you have four people, a good strategy is to have one player use the Spartan Laser and Sniper and make him snipe and pick off the Wraiths. Have two players use the Warthog and the third use a chopper. Alternatively, you could have the third player use the Sniper, making the Spartan Laser player use a chopper to get to the Wraiths faster.

*Save your hammers for the third wave. A regular bash will kill most enemies in two hits, with the exception being Brutes and Hunters. Use the trigger bash on vehicles coming too close or hunters. Save these during Black Eye rounds, their bash will kill enemies fast and heal you as well. This works well when you have a group of enemies, as you can kill a majority of them fast and use the last one as a health punching bag with an alternative weapon.

*Don't hesitate to splatter anything. Especially with the Chopper.

*Don't hesitate to splatter anything. Especially with the Chopper, but don't become complacent because the Grunts on catch are a nightmare.

*Do not fire the laser on single targets, save the charge for more formidable opponents like the Wraith or a Hunter.

*The Warthog will respawn with each weapon drop. Don't be foolish with it. Only drive out when the Phantoms are gone. At the end of each wave, get to a spot that they cannot shoot at you.

*Snipers have an excellent vantage point on top of the base. You can shoot at any of the drop off points. However, Phantoms have a shot at you as they enter and leave (and the hill drop off has a shot at you during drop-off). Enemies have a hard time reaching you, with the exception of Drones and Jump Pack Brutes.

*Snipers have an excellent vantage point on top of the base. You can shoot at any of the drop off points. However, Phantoms have a shot at you as they enter and leave (and the hill drop off has a shot at you during drop-off). Enemies have a hard time reaching you, with the exception of Wraith mortars, Jackal Snipers, Drones and Jump Pack Brutes.

*Good spots to hide are under the staircase in the base and behind objects in the spawning rooms. Use this if you're going for your [[Be Like Marty (Achievement)|Be Like Marty]] achievement and want to avoid any type of contact with Covenant.

*If you only have two players, have one player be a sniper and wraith and the other fight off invading Covenant. Alternatively, two players can use a Warthog and have the gunner take out Wraiths.

*Drones are very vulnerable to the SMG and Brute Plasma Rifle, save the Magnum ammo for other opponents.

*Drones are very vulnerable to the SMG and Brute Plasma Rifle, save the Magnum ammo for other opponents like Grunts at a distance

*If playing by yourself and on Legendary, getting a Chopper is ''strongly'' recommended, as you will have infinite ammo, speed, and can kill enemies at a distance. Alternatively, you can use the Anti-Air Wraith Glitch and take command of a Wraith (who are rigged to explode like AA wraiths are in the main campaign) but without a second person to be the gunner, you will be almost defenseless against drones.

Alternatively, you can use the Anti-Air Wraith Glitch and take command of a Wraith (who are rigged to explode like AA wraiths are in the main campaign) but without a second person to be the gunner, you will be almost defenseless against drones, so Chopper is probably the best choice for mobility and power, effectively a portable machine gunner.

*Don't try to eliminate Wraiths with the Chopper and the Warthog, especially with Black Eye and Tilt on, they won't get any damage and deal a ton of damage to you.

*Don't try to eliminate Wraiths with the Chopper and the Warthog, especially with Black Eye and Tilt on, they won't get any damage and deal a ton of damage to you, switch to your Spartan Laser.

*The cliffs on the side of the map make excellent sniping positions. The chopper (with enough patience) can get you to points otherwise inaccessible on top of the rocks.

*A good strategy is to have a hog team, one person with laser and one person with sniper. Have the sniper and laser get a Chopper ASAP. When the wraiths land, its the Spartan laser's job to take them out. Once that is done, they should get back on their chopper. When tilt comes on, if possible get the hog team on choppers.

*Splattering Chieftains with a Chopper or Warthog is a good way to kill them and save your ammo for later.

*During the bonus round, using a Chopper or Warthog is a good choice, as you can splatter many Grunts at once and you don't deplete ammo. However, do not use the Warthog turret if it is stationary (no driver) dismount, remember the Catch skull is on and you are an easy target.

*If you're in a chopper and spot War Chieftains, take a step back and deal with the other enemies because the Fuel Rod Gun will take your vehicle out in one hit on higher difficulties.

*On the final wave of each round, where the chieftains come, it is advisable to reach the roof of the building in the center of the map. Firstly climb the stairs leading towards where the health pack would spawn, then head towards the diagonal concrete beams and walk up one of them, then jump onto the roof. There is another beam which you should walk across until you get to the glass tiling. The Wraith will fire at you but the shots can be dodged easily. The only enemies you can meet up here are Jump Pack Brutes. Kill them and fire down at the Chieftains below you. Occasionally you can see the head of the hammer coming through the concrete beams if you stand on them.

*The roof can be an excellent vantage point for anyone wielding the Spartan Laser, allowing them to quickly pinpoint the location of inbound Phantoms and alert their teammates, and can use the clear line of sight to quickly eliminate enemy Wraiths. In addition, they can provide further support by picking off enemy infantry with weapons like the Sniper Rifle and pistol. The Wraiths will have a hard time targeting you, as their plasma mortars can be easily predicted and avoided. However, it is highly advised to either have a second teammate covering you with an automatic weapon in the event of a drone attack.
